The Shaykh:
First, what is the book *The Ruling of the Pre-Islamic Age of Ignorance*?
The questioner:
The Shaykh says: Ahmad Shakir.
The Shaykh:
Yes, al-Shakir was a great scholar (may Allah have mercy on him).
The questioner:
He means that no religion was found that clarifies the previous religions and clarifies what truth is in them and what distortion and alteration is in them, like Islam.

This is correct. Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) says, “And as a protector over it,” a protector over the Qur'an, a protector over the previous books. Yes.
